WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS

The following warning lamps and
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition
that may become serious. Some lamps
light when you start your vehicle to make
sure they work. If any lamps remain on
after starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for further
information.

Note: Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp but do not display
when you start your vehicle.

Adaptive Cruise Control

The speed control system
indicator light changes color to
indicate what mode the system

is in.

On (white light): Illuminates when you
switch on the adaptive cruise control
system. Turns off when you switch off the
speed control system.

Engaged (green light): Illuminates when
you engage the adaptive cruise control
system. Turns off when you disengage the
speed control system.

Anti-Lock Braking System

If it lights when you are driving,
this indicates a malfunction. You
continue to have normal braking

(without anti-lock braking system) unless
the brake system warning lamp also lights.
Have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.

Brake System

It lights when you engage the
parking brake with the ignition
on.

If it lights when you are driving, check that

malfunction. Have the system checked
immediately by an authorized dealer.

WARNING

Driving your vehicle with the warning
lamp on is dangerous. A significant
